Digital camera reviews of Garmin StreetPilot c580 3.5-Inch Portable GPS Navigator with MSN Direct
Digital camera Review: A GPS with all the bells and whistles
Summary: 4 Stars
The StreetPilot c580 is for the GPS navigation fan who wants it all. You get easy to use navigation, built-in Bluetooth, traffic alerts and MSN Direct displayed on your screen.
I previously owned a c530 with just the basic GPS features so I was really impressed that I could add all those features for about the same price I paid for the c530 just 9 months ago! The StreetPilot 500 series have a brighter screen and faster satellite connectivity than previous models.
The Bluetooth is a safety feature if you own a Bluetooth cell phone. This enables you to talk hands-free while you're driving.
The MSN Direct is cool but limited to only 4 functions: weather, gas prices, movie times and traffic alerts. A minor complaint is that the gas prices usually have a one or 2-day delay and are not necessarily current. This is OK if you are driving through an unfamiliar area and want to know approximate gas prices.
The StreetPilot c580 is a feature-laden GPS that not everyone would need. With current prices, the basic StreetPilot is $200 less than the c580. Whether you need all the bells and whistles for $200 is a decision only you can make!

This GPS is fast...miss a turn and it updates immediately...no waiting. When only the fastest and the best will do - pick a Garmin.Digital camera Review: Accurate and reliable
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned a c530 and was exceptionally please with the way it performed
so I upgraded to the c580. This unit is just as accurate but it does have
2 quirks that bother me. It takes a little more time to pick up the
satellites than the 530 model, and the text to speech voice seems fuzzy.
Digital camera Review: Almost perfect
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using my Garmin C580 for a week now and I am very pleased with it's features. I have been very impressed by how easy it is to use.
The only change I would suggest to Garmin would be the ability to program multiple stops along a route. Add that feature and my rating would be 5 stars.
